I had been to WB many times with UT friends and always thought Carolina had some of the best fans in the country. After reading this board the last few weeks I was not looking forward to our game, was very disappointed in some of the nasty talk. We got to WB yesterday and had a great time. Carolina fans welcoming us into their tailgate "Welcome to Carolina" "What can we fix you to drink?". Was so happy to see the Carolina still has some of the best fans in the SEC. Good luck the rest of the year. Will be pulling for you guys. Gig'em and Go Cocks!!

Glad you enjoyed yourself .
If you got nasty talk on a message board , to me that's expected. I wouldn't put in stock in what's said on a message board. The same guy that is talking crap to u behind a pc would be a different person to your face.

Hmmm, I guess it's just the cards you are dealt, and someone has to play you guys (just like someone from the West has to play us).

But College Station is a heck of a long way off. I doubt I ever go there in my life.

We have absolutely no connection to the state of Texas. I mean I never think of it unless it is in the news for some reason. Whereas Georgia, Florida, Tennessee, Vandy, Kentucky are all teams we have a connection of some sort with.

If we are going to play a West team with a great recruiting base, I'd rather play LSU every year. It's closer than College Station, and you can party your gongs off every two years. There is a reason besides the game to make that trip.

Our fan base is not as well heeled as some of the other ones, even in the SEC. We just don't have anywhere near as many people as you do who can drop the cash for a couple of plane tickets, game tickets, hotel, and other expenses to go to a game like this on a whim.

I suspect you will have very poor attendance from us at our games at your site.

Someone has to play you, but we will never do anything in Texas recruiting, so it is kind of a waste of a game for us, like Arkansas was.

We had a great time tailgating with several nice A&M fans. Now once in the stadium I was surrounded by the asshole TA&M fans. They were running down the rows hollering and cussing at the older Carolina fans in our section. Thought some Clemson fans made their way into the game.

Ill piggy back on the OP. Columbia was great - awesome time downtown the night before, great fans and drunk at the bar football talk. The stadium and tailgating experience was great. I'll definitely be there again in two years.

Thanks for the hospitality and I'm sure adjustments will be made on D. The season is just starting...
